Today’s Scottish Championship fixture against Ayr United has been postponed.
After torrential rain overnight the club requested a pitch inspection at 10.30am this morning due to the distance required for Ayr to travel.
With no rain forecast the pitch was deemed playable by an SFA appointed referee after consultation by phone with the match referee.
Both sides had arrived at the Kilmac Stadium when match referee David Munro and his assistants checked the pitch and deemed one small section as unplayable and called the match off.
With both clubs asking for the match to be played we discussed the matter further with the league to request a delayed kick off and asked the referee for a short period of time for the ground staff to work on the pitch but this was refused.
Ultimately the referee’s hastily reached decision stood.
The club intends to raise this fiasco with the SPFL and SFA.
